‘I’m not naive. This was probably an employee broadcasting his/her views.’

Oh, you’re just saying that because Robert Gibbs, Obama’s former Press Secretary, is now McDonald’s head of Communications.

"Twitter notified us that our account was compromised. We deleted the tweet, secured our account and are now investigating this," McDonald's spokeswoman Terri Hickey said in a statement..

Have they disavowed the comment? Have they publicly apologized to Donald Trump and come out and said that the tweet "IN NO WAY" represents the opinions of McDonalds Corporation or it's executives?

Until they do, then we have to assume they agreed with it.

This is why I think Trump should be somewhat careful about using Twitter. They are a notoriously lax company regarding security, as well as very ad-hoc regarding censorship.

Someone could easily hack his twitter feed and people would believe it was something being said by the President — and that could have bad consequences.

Maybe wearing gloves while handling the food they serve would be a start ... watched one guy wipe his face with his hand then get some burgers out to cook ... gross

Thanks for the update, Mickey D’s......Think I’ll stop eating your food anyway. Won’t be hard - the only thing they make that I’ll eat is the egg mcmuffin, but I can easily make them at home when I want one.
